it works fine, but...

yes, i sure did. i tried it again, even with a simple date >>/tmp/foo -

^wz date >>/tmp/foo

and check it out! instead of seeing /tmp/foo, i see /tmp/foo^M. which
seems to indicate to me that windows is to blame in some sense. probably
the loginfo file was checked out in linux but edited and committed in
windows? if so, how would i go about fixing that? cvs remove the loginfo
file, then add a clean copy created under linux?
